*WEATHER PERMITTING*, this is how to find the comet early morning tomorrow before sunrise (17 Nov) from Singapore.

(1) Face east. Locate Spica before 6am. Take a mental note of ISON's location from Spica.

(2) Find L-shape star pattern through a binocular or telescope at upper left of Spica at about 3.5° arc degrees away.

If you see a fuzzy circular patch (and maybe even a tail!) at the location indicated in the above image, congrats!!!

If time permits, I will be updating similar ISON finder charts for the next few days.

My friends and I *MAY* be hunting this comet early morning tomorrow through our telescopes and binoculars. Check my twitter for the latest updates if you are keen to join us - http://www.twitter.com/astrosg

Clear skies and good luck comet hunting!
